To get details of foreign remittances in the Rs 6,000 crore Bank of Baroda scam, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) has sent judicial requests to Hong Kong and Dubai seeking details of funds, accounts and operators who allegedly perpetrated the fraud. Officials said the agency recently dispatched the Letters Rogatory (LRs) issued from a local court, as its probe found that alleged illegal remittances were sent to these two locations. The agency, they said, is hopeful of getting leads in the case after receiving a reply from their counterparts. A total of seven people have been arrested by the ED. CBI and the I-T department are also investigating the case. –
